Buddhist Philosophy; Tenets: Vaibashikya School
Ven. Geshe Ngawang Dakpa
Based on the idea that the Buddha taught different things to different people in line with their capacities, Tibetan scholars systematized the numerous trends in Indian Buddhist thought and taught the four schools of Tenets (Drubtha) as a means to approach the most profound philosophical teachings via more accessible levels. The text that is the basis for study of this subject gives a brief overview of the assertions on minds, objects, selflessness and the nature of attainment within the Vaibashikya School of Buddhist Thought.
